Customer attrition is a painful problem for financial institutions. The acquisition process for new customers is costly and does not solve the attrition problem.

No matter how many customers respond to your net promoter survey about their experience with your financial institution, NPS does not explain the whole story. ToGraph help financial institution executives, we undertook this research to explore, uncover, and dig deeply into the voice of the customer to capture customer stories and reasons for switching. In CCG Catalyst Fresh Insights latest study, Why Customers Switch Their Bank or Credit Union, investigates the behavior, motivations, and attitudes of 200 customers segmented into business customers, bank customers and credit union members, which 53% are business owners, and customers from diverse lifestyles.

Customers have many financial institution choices to conduct their banking. The research points to many reasons, frustrations, challenges, and trigger points of customers who switched their bank or credit union.
